lvm2/tools/command-lines.in
David Teigland 83fe6e720f device usage based on devices file 
The LVM devices file lists devices that lvm can use.  The default
file is /etc/lvm/devices/system.devices, and the lvmdevices(8)
command is used to add or remove device entries.  If the file
does not exist, or if lvm.conf includes use_devicesfile=0, then
lvm will not use a devices file.  When the devices file is in use,
the regex filter is not used, and the filter settings in lvm.conf
or on the command line are ignored.

LVM records devices in the devices file using hardware-specific
IDs, such as the WWID, and attempts to use subsystem-specific
IDs for virtual device types.  These device IDs are also written
in the VG metadata.  When no hardware or virtual ID is available,
lvm falls back using the unstable device name as the device ID.
When devnames are used, lvm performs extra scanning to find
devices if their devname changes, e.g. after reboot.

When proper device IDs are used, an lvm command will not look
at devices outside the devices file, but when devnames are used
as a fallback, lvm will scan devices outside the devices file
to locate PVs on renamed devices.  A config setting
search_for_devnames can be used to control the scanning for
renamed devname entries.

Related to the devices file, the new command option
--devices <devnames> allows a list of devices to be specified for
the command to use, overriding the devices file.  The listed
devices act as a sort of devices file in terms of limiting which
devices lvm will see and use.  Devices that are not listed will
appear to be missing to the lvm command.

Multiple devices files can be kept in /etc/lvm/devices, which
allows lvm to be used with different sets of devices, e.g.
system devices do not need to be exposed to a specific application,
and the application can use lvm on its own set of devices that are
not exposed to the system.  The option --devicesfile <filename> is
used to select the devices file to use with the command.  Without
the option set, the default system devices file is used.

Setting --devicesfile "" causes lvm to not use a devices file.

An existing, empty devices file means lvm will see no devices.

The new command vgimportdevices adds PVs from a VG to the devices
file and updates the VG metadata to include the device IDs.
vgimportdevices -a will import all VGs into the system devices file.

LVM commands run by dmeventd not use a devices file by default,
and will look at all devices on the system.  A devices file can
be created for dmeventd (/etc/lvm/devices/dmeventd.devices)  If
this file exists, lvm commands run by dmeventd will use it.

Internal implementaion:

- device_ids_read - read the devices file
  . add struct dev_use (du) to cmd->use_devices for each devices file entry
- dev_cache_scan - get /dev entries
  . add struct device (dev) to dev_cache for each device on the system
- device_ids_match - match devices file entries to /dev entries
  . match each du on cmd->use_devices to a dev in dev_cache, using device ID
  . on match, set du->dev, dev->id, dev->flags MATCHED_USE_ID
- label_scan - read lvm headers and metadata from devices
  . filters are applied, those that do not need data from the device
  . filter-deviceid skips devs without MATCHED_USE_ID, i.e.
    skips /dev entries that are not listed in the devices file
  . read lvm label from dev
  . filters are applied, those that use data from the device
  . read lvm metadata from dev
  . add info/vginfo structs for PVs/VGs (info is "lvmcache")
- device_ids_find_renamed_devs - handle devices with unstable devname ID
  where devname changed
  . this step only needed when devs do not have proper device IDs,
    and their dev names change, e.g. after reboot sdb becomes sdc.
  . detect incorrect match because PVID in the devices file entry
    does not match the PVID found when the device was read above
  . undo incorrect match between du and dev above
  . search system devices for new location of PVID
  . update devices file with new devnames for PVIDs on renamed devices
  . label_scan the renamed devs
- continue with command processing

#
# Syntax
#
# A new command has a unique combination of:
# command name, required option args and required
# positional args.
#
# To define a new command, begin a single line with a
# command name, followed by required options/args,
# (e.g. --foo, or --foo val), followed by required
# positional args, (e.g. VG)
#
# After the single line of required elements are lines
# of optional elements:
# OO: <optional --option args>
# OP: <optional positional args>
#
# command_name required_opt_arg ... required_pos_arg ...
# OO: optional_opt_arg, ...
# OP: optional_pos_arg ...
#
# required_opt_arg/optional_opt_arg must begin with the
# long form option name, e.g. --foo. If the option name
# takes a value, then the type of value is specified,
# e.g. --foo String.
#
# Possible option names are listed in args.h
#
# Use --foo_long to specify that only the long form of
# --foo is accepted by the command. (This is uncommon.)
#
# Possible option arg types are shown in tools/vals.h,
# e.g. Bool, String, VG, SizeMB.
#
# --option args outside the list of types in vals.h are treated
# as literal (non-variable) strings or numbers.
#
# positional args can be multiple types separated by |, e.g. VG|LV|Tag
#
# If a positional arg is repeatable, it is followed by ..., e.g. VG|LV|Tag ...
#
# LV can have a suffix indicating the LV type, e.g. LV_linear, LV_thinpool.
# LV_raid represents any raidN. LV_type1_type2_type3 when the LV is
# limited to multiple specific types.
#
# Note that two commands whose required paramters differ only by
# the LV types they accept are ambiguous. That is, they cannot be
# distinguished by just looking at the command, but require reading
# the VG to find the LV type. So, command definitions that differ
# only in accepted LV types are not allowed. It would be best to
# distinguish them by using different option names.
# There are FIXME's below for some of these cases.
#
# VG, LV can have the suffix _new, indicating the named VG or LV
# does not yet exist.
#
# If Select is included in pos_arg, it means that the pos_arg
# may be empty if the --select option is used.
#
# --size and --extents are interchangable, but only --size is used
# in these definitions to keep them simpler. --extents is
# automatically included and recognized as an alternative to --size.
#
# lvcreate generally requires a VG arg in position 1 and does not
# require the --name option (when --name is omitted, a name is
# generated). But, all commands of that form have a variant which
# is not defined here, but which is automatically recognized as
# being equivalent. That variant allows the required VG arg to
# be omitted when --name VG/LV is specified, or when the
# LVM_VG_NAME env var is set and --name LV is specified.
# The lvcreate variants with --name and without a VG arg are
# automatically recognized as an alternative to the defined
# command forms requiring the VG and no --name.
# Also, --thinpool VG/LV or --cachepool VG/LV can be used in
# place of --name to provide the VG name instead of pos 1.
#
# Note that one the most difficult aspect of these definitions is
# the variants of --thin / --type thin / --type thin-pool,
# --cache / --type cache / --type cache-pool.
# There are no consistent rules to follow and the behaviors are
# unpredictable; each possible variation and combination needs
# to be tested individually to see what it means.
#
# Some options have multiple names, but only one form of the name
# is used in these definitions. Synonyms will be recognized when
# matching a command to a command definition.
#
# used in definitions below (equivalent but not used in definitions)
# mirrorlog core (not corelog)
# resizeable (resizable or allocation)
# allocatable (allocation)
# activate (available)
# rebuild (raidrebuild)
# syncaction (raidsyncaction)
# writemostly (raidwritemostly)
# minrecoveryrate (raidminrecoveryrate)
# maxrecoveryrate (raidmaxrecoveryrate)
# writebehind (raidwritebehind)
# virtualsize (virtualoriginsize)
# splitcache (split)
# vgmetadatacopies (metadatacopies)
# pvmetadatacopies (metadatacopies)
#
# "---" is like a comment line, used to separate text for readability
#
# ID: A unique string identifying the command. Two commands that do
# the same thing, but are alternate syntaxes can share the same ID,
# in which case the implementation would have to sort out which
# args to look at for the required parameters. Or, the two commands
# could use differnet IDs, in which case the implementation would
# know where to look for each parameter.
#
# DESC: A description of the command. The "DESC:" tags will be
# included in the text as indicators of new lines when printing
# the descriptions for help/man output.

# or invalid (not) combinations of options, LV types or LV properties.

# If the conditions in A are true, then the checks in B
# are applied. If the checks in B are true|false according

#
# When A is "all", the conditions in B are always applied.
#
# Conditions:
# . if any --option listed is set, the checks may apply
# . if any LV_type listed matches LV, the checks may apply

#
#
# For efficiency, sets of options can be defined and reused
# in multiple command definitions.
#
# To define a common set of options:
# OO_NAME: --foo, --bar String
#
# To use this set of options, include it on the OO: line, e.g.
# OO: --example, OO_NAME
#
# which is expaneded to
# OO: --example, --foo, --bar String
#
# Including OO_NAME after a command name on the required line
# means that any one of the options is required and the rest
# are optional. The usage syntax for this case is printed as:
# command (--foo A, --bar B)

# This command syntax has two different meanings depending on
# whether the LV pos arg is already a cache pool or not.
#
# 1. When the LV arg is not a pool, this command converts
# the LV into a pool, optionally using a specified meta LV.
# This is an alternate form of the primary command:
# lvconvert --type cache-pool LV
#
# 2. When the LV is is already a pool and a meta LV is specified,
# the meta LV is swapped. Swapping a meta LV is a very specialized
# operation that users should never use.
# This is an alternate form of the primary command:
# lvconvert --swapmetadata --poolmetadata LV LV
#
# The command def cannot include --poolmetadata as a required
# option, otherwise 1 would not pass, so the validation of
# this option cannot be done by the command defs, but has to
# be done ad hoc in the lvconvert implementation.
#
# This command syntax is deprecated, and the primary forms
# of creating a pool or swapping metadata should be used.
